The Emperor's uncle loves me! My paranoid wife, don't run away

Chapter 319 Where did the sachet come from?

Ming Ming slowly moved the Buddhist beads, as if he had grasped the emperor's thoughts.

"Your Majesty, I have heard that Shen Runing, the daughter of the Shen family of Tianyan, has superb medical skills and has saved countless lives. She is known as the 'miracle doctor who brings people back to health.'"

He paused, his eyes seemingly passing over the emperor's face unintentionally.

"Miss Shen is gifted with extraordinary talents and is blessed with good fortune. If we offer her blood to heaven, it will be like one person is worth a hundred. It will surely suppress the evil and stabilize the palace."

The emperor slowly raised his eyes, a hint of thought in his eyes.

And then Ming Ming looked embarrassed.

"However... Miss Shen has already made an engagement with Prince Ruyang."

The tone of his voice changed, and he spoke in a low voice with a profound tone: "If Miss Shen becomes your Majesty's concubine——"

"Not only can I fight a hundred, I'm afraid I can fight a thousand."

As soon as the words fell, the hall fell into dead silence.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, with madness in his laughter.

"King Ruyang? There is no King Ruyang in this world anymore!"

"there is none left!"

But before the laughter died down, the emperor's smile gradually froze.

He narrowed his eyes.

"But... Luo Mian's body is still warm. If I take Shen Runing into the palace right away, I'm afraid... it will lead to gossip."

"People are talking about me taking advantage of others' misfortune and being shameless..."

There was a glimmer of ruthlessness in his eyes, coupled with a hint of forbearance.

Ming Ming's face was calm, as if he had been prepared.

"Your Majesty, public opinion outside the palace is controlled by the court and the market. If someone is determined to cover it up, who would dare to criticize it?"

“Besides, if Miss Shen volunteers, no one can say anything.”

The emperor raised an eyebrow: "Voluntary?"

"What kind of voluntary law is this?"

Ming Ming lowered his eyes and said, "I heard that several people in the Shen family were poisoned. Although they are not dead, they are unable to move..."

"Your Majesty can... imprison them."

"Choose an auspicious day, hold a banquet to select a concubine, and put a knife to the necks of her family members."

"Ms. Shen will definitely volunteer..."

There was actually some admiration in the emperor's eyes.

"You are much smarter than the previous unstable abbot."

He smiled, his eyes deep, "I, Tian Yan, need someone as capable as you!"

Upon hearing this, Ming Ming immediately knelt on the ground, his forehead pressed against the cold floor tiles, his expression respectful and determined.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I was born in Tianyan. It is my duty to share your worries!"

After a pause, his tone became more pious: "I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

The emperor listened and his smile deepened.

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, the eldest princess wishes to see you."

Eunuch Qian replied quietly and stood at the door with his head lowered.

The emperor's eyes darkened and he waved his hand slightly.

"Unclear, please retreat behind the screen."

Ming Ming responded respectfully and immediately retreated behind the screen, with his head lowered, like a standing shadow.

The emperor glanced at the door and was about to speak, but suddenly frowned and his eyes slowly fell on the sachet hanging around Eunuch Qian's waist.

"Qian Peicheng."

The emperor paused, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"What kind of spices are in your sachet?"

"I've never smelled anything like it before."

Eunuch Qian was slightly stunned, then his face calmed down and he immediately lowered his head and replied respectfully.

"Your Majesty, I saw a poor woman selling sachets on the street a few days ago. Seeing that she was living in poverty, I helped her open a shop and bought this one."

"What's inside...I don't know either."

After hearing this, the emperor's tone was somewhat mocking.

"Oh? A woman selling incense on the street can move your sympathy?"

Eunuch Qian knelt down immediately and said, "I was soft-hearted for a moment and felt sorry for that woman, so I bought the sachet."

The emperor smiled.

"Why are you so nervous? I was just asking casually."

"Go ahead, let her in."

Eunuch Qian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

When Eunuch Qian walked out, the sachet around his waist swayed slightly.

The fragrance lingered around the emperor's nose for a long time.

Looking at Eunuch Qian's leaving back, the emperor seemed to be smiling.

"How come a eunuch suddenly likes sachets?"

This sachet was given to Zhe Qing by Shen Runing himself a few days ago.

Zhe Qing took a lot of effort to get Eunuch Qian to wear it willingly.

The emperor tapped the table with his fingers, his thoughts turning, but he said nothing.

After a moment, Luo Yuwen walked into the hall, his steps neither hurried nor slow, his expression dignified.

However, she was still wearing that bright red dress, which was particularly eye-catching.

"Father."

She stood still, her voice clear but with a hint of stubbornness.

"Having a funeral in three days is against our ancestors' teachings and I'm afraid it's inappropriate."

The emperor slowly raised his eyes and paused on her face.

"Why is your face so red?"

"besides……"

His eyes fell on her bright red dress with a hint of scrutiny.

"Your mother and your brother are in mourning, why are you dressed so festively?"

Luo Yuwen raised his hand and touched his cheek.

She didn't know why her face became like this.

He looked down at his clothes again and spoke.

"Father, it is against the rules to hold a funeral on the third day."

The emperor's face darkened, and he slammed the memorial in his hand onto the desk with a loud thud.

"presumptuous!"

"I am the Supreme Being! Do I need to explain my actions to you?"

The tone was full of pressure that could not be questioned.

Luo Yuwen looked up, hatred faintly evident in his eyes.

"Can the Supreme Emperor change the rules left by the predecessors at will?"

After these words were spoken, the emperor's face turned completely cold.

"Are you going to accompany your mother?"

The two men confronted each other, with flames flying and murderous intent lingering.

Luo Yuwen hated the queen, but the queen was her biological mother after all. The queen killed the prince and then hanged herself. No matter how she thought about it, it seemed strange.

Luo Yuwen stood in the middle with a cold look in his eyes.

"Father, my mother is the Queen and my brother is the Crown Prince. Don't you find their deaths strange?"

There was a hint of coldness in the emperor's eyes.

"Weird?"

He sneered, raised his hand irritably, and pressed it heavily on the table.

"Your mad mother killed the prince and then hanged herself. What's so hard to understand?"

"A madman kills another madman. Everything will be clean once he dies. What? Are you crazy too?"

The stubbornness in Luo Yuwen's eyes became more and more fierce.

"I do not believe."

"No matter how crazy my mother is, she will never hurt my brother."

"Will not!"

"Luo Yu asked!" the emperor suddenly shouted.

"Are you questioning me?"

"Say one more word, and I'll order you to go with them!"

Luo Yuwen's chest heaved violently and his whole body trembled.

"Somebody come!"

Eunuch Qian immediately pushed the door open and walked in, bowing respectfully.

"Send the eldest princess back to the palace."

"Without my order, you are not allowed to take a single step!"

Luo Yu asked with a sneer.

"Father wants to imprison me?"

"Why imprison me!"

The emperor stood up and threw a memorial at Luo Yuwen's head, and blood immediately oozed out of Luo Yuwen's forehead.

"roll!"

Eunuch Qian hurriedly pulled Luo Yuwen out.

The emperor stood there with a deep look in his eyes.

After a long time, he slowly turned around and looked at the unknown behind the screen.

"heard it."

He walked out without knowing why, with his head lowered and his eyes pleasing to the eye.

"I heard it."

The emperor's eyes became even colder.

"Luo Yuwen... is too stubborn. If I don't teach him a lesson, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

Ming Ming clasped his hands together and said calmly, "Your Majesty, everyone says that blood ties are the closest to one another, but in a fight for power, how can you show mercy?"

"Actually..." Ming Ming hesitated to speak.

"Actually what?"

Ming Ming walked in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty's blood flows in the eldest princess' body..."

The emperor looked towards the unknown.

Meaningful.
